When you buy that convection oven, you're brimming with dreams of brilliant baking and roasting sessions.

Typically, your convection oven comes with a manufacturer's warranty. This is your first line of defense against any manufacturing malfunctions or quality issues. Usually, these warranties can last between 1 to 5 years, but they do have limitations and don’t cover everything under the sun.

Before you even consider extending this warranty, make sure to fully comprehend its terms and conditions. This ensures that you don't miss out on any benefits or get blindsided by any hidden clauses.

This is where the elaboration begins. Some manufacturers offer extended warranties at an additional cost. These add-ons can protect your oven for a longer period beyond the standard warranty.

However, before you jump on the extended warranty bandwagon, take a moment to think. Do you really need it? Generally, the likelihood of your convection oven breaking down during the extended warranty period is quite slim. However, if you're someone who likes to be on the safe side and you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, the peace of mind might just be worth the price.

Understand The Terms

You might be buying an extended warranty but there may still be limitations and exclusions. It's not the most fun read, but to avoid any future kitchen calamities, go through the contract with a fine-tooth comb.

Check Your Home Insurance Policy
